How does Broadcast connect to Ontraport?

By webhook. Broadcast, formerly Call Loop, gives you a trigger URL that you paste into an Ontraport Automation, Sequence, or Ping URL step with the contact’s merge fields. Each contact who reaches the step gets a text, a picture message, a ringless voicemail drop, or a voice broadcast. Plans start at $15 a month.

Overview

One webhook URL for each message.

Ontraport connects to Broadcast by webhook. In Broadcast, create a custom trigger with the message, which can be a text or picture message, a ringless voicemail drop, or a voice broadcast. Broadcast gives you a webhook URL for it.

In Ontraport, paste that URL into an Automation, a Sequence, or a Ping URL step and add the merge fields for phone, first name, last name, and email. When a contact reaches the step, Ontraport calls the URL and Broadcast sends the message to that number. A campaign webhook URL can enroll the contact in a Broadcast campaign instead.

How it works

Connect Ontraport in three steps.

  1. 01

    Create a custom trigger

    In Broadcast, open Triggers, create a custom trigger with Custom as the app, and write the text or choose the voicemail or voice recording.

  2. 02

    Copy the URL and add merge fields

    Copy the trigger’s webhook URL and add Ontraport’s merge fields, as in phone=[Office Phone]&first=[First Name]&last=[Last Name]&email=[Email]. Use the phone field that holds your contacts’ mobile numbers.

  3. 03

    Paste it into Ontraport

    Add the URL to a Sequence, an Automation, or a Ping URL step, send a test contact through, and turn it on.

How does Broadcast connect to Ontraport?

By webhook. Create a custom trigger in Broadcast, copy its URL, add Ontraport’s merge fields for phone, first name, last name, and email, and paste it into an Automation, a Sequence, or a Ping URL step.

Can Ontraport send ringless voicemail with Broadcast?

Yes. Use a ringless voicemail trigger instead of a text. Add an audio parameter with a public MP3 link if each contact should hear a different recording.

What does it cost to text and voicemail Ontraport contacts?

Messages use the same credits as the rest of Broadcast, with 1 credit per text up to 160 characters, 2 credits per picture message or voice memo, 2 credits per delivered voicemail drop, and 1 credit per minute of call (2 credits with press 1 transfer). Plans start at $15 a month for 250 credits, with a 14-day free trial.

Which Ontraport contacts can I text or voicemail?

Only contacts who agreed to hear from you. Marketing texts need prior express written consent, and the FCC treats ringless voicemail as a call. Name your business, include how to opt out, and honor STOP replies. This is not legal advice.

Can Ontraport start a series of messages?

Yes. Every Broadcast campaign has a webhook enrollment URL. Paste it into an Ontraport step and the contact enters the campaign, with its texts, voicemail drops, and calls on the delays you set.
